The sleepy town of Bowen is the best-kept secret on the Whitsunday Coast, with palm-fringed beaches, secluded coastal bays and plenty of play equipment for the kids.
Stoll along the beaches and swim the lagoon. But you cannot visit Bowen without learning how to eat a juicy Bowen mango.
Visit the foreshore waterpark and check out the display depicting how the town was transformed during the filming of the movie Australia.
And when it’s time to go for a dip, snorkel straight from the beach.
A hop, skip and jump, from the buzz of Airlie Beach, lies the charming country township of Collinsville.
